And this is why I'm excited for the new competitors to release their games this year 😂 "inZOI" in particular looks really good. I figured if I can really only use the Sims 4 as a way to create pretty characters and houses (with cc and mods), then inZOI would be a good replacement. Dunno how gameplay is gonna go yet but we'll have to see. Honestly more game companies should rip each other off. This is how we avoid monopolies, for one thing. But for another thing, this competition is healthy for consumers, as it forces game developers to think of what WE WANT, instead of what THEY want US to SPEND. If the Sims 5 can't even hold a candle to inZOI, they may be done for good. It's a shame to think The Sims may one day be considered only a relic of the past...

Did you ever think the "cool" in "Cool Kitchen" is to do with cold as in ice cold, due to the fact it came with an Ice Cream maker?

[@kmoellski]

revolutionary. iced lemonades and ice cream, of course it‘s cool kitchen. omg I never thought of this. but in German it‘s coole so cool not as in cold, still could be interpreted as both if you want. I like your interpretation so much more though

[@filipeeeeeeeee5615]

It wasn’t translated as cool in cold, at least in Portuguese. They translated into something like “dope kitchen” (cozinha maneira)

[@egel7736]

It probably was! I don't think the localisation teams got the memo, though, haha. The Dutch translator interpreted it as "Coole Keukenaccessoires", with "coole" being an adjective to describe something as, well, "cool"!

[@elif6908]

🤦‍♀️ I feel like an idiot as I never thought about cool=cold!!

[@filipeeeeeeeee5615]

@@egel7736 yeah the translations have been pretty mid after the sims 4. In the sims 2 and 3 the Portuguese translations are genius. they have so many puns that are very on brand with the old sims lore while also incorporating things of the local culture. I think the sims 3 is funnier in Portuguese then it is in English… there was clearly a lot of effort put it into it. The sims 4 is just ok, I mean, the translation does communicate exactly what the original game wants to say (with the necessary adjustments) butttt there’s nothing more to it, so to me it’s not worth it playing it translated because it’s the same.

Get Together absolutely deserved that #1. It's easily the most "The Sims" expansion for The Sims 4 and that's something special. The club system is an absolute must-have for the game, yet doesn't feel like it was something they kept from the base game to sell later on (looking at you Growing Together and Seasons). Just perfect.

Honestly I probably would’ve been fine with its release if it was a full on world you could live on.

It’s a shame they didn’t care about it any farther than their advertising partnership told them to.

Werewolves taking the number 1 spot is EXACTLY what she deserves. Idk what was going on in the EA Sims office when they were developing that game pack specifically but we need that energy for the whole game. We got some of the cutest townies(Rory, Jacob, Lou[My fave🥰💕]) and the world looks small but its surprising big in world. I love making werewolf families and then having them just run around during the full moon. Overall Werewolves is my all time favorite game pack and i think the sims team was cooking when they made her.

[@bookcat123]

When romantic garden was free, I almost didn’t even get it - I thought I’d never use it. But then I saw the fountain you could sit on and play in and thought that might be fun and got it. Tried it out. Me: oh my gosh, I need this fountain in every park. Me: oh my gosh now I can throw coins in any fountain from any pack this is so cool Me: Actually this hair is very cute. Me: Okay, yeah, also this kid’s dress. Really cute. And this one. Wearing those. And the hair.

[@Mizuru007]

GOD, was 2019 Mosquito pack EA Play???? I was there in the audience (standing in the back like a COMMONER) and I remember the unsure claps and confused looks everyone was giving. DO love it for giving us the ability to take pretty nice pictures of sims. I use it to track my legacy households! Also, important to note that First Pet Stuff was an expansion *for an expansion*. You literally couldn't use it UNLESS you had Cats and Dogs, which is even MORE ugly. Not only are they taking out content and making you pay for it separately, you can't even ACCESS that content until you've purchased the pack that they STOLE THE CONTENT FROM. GREAT video as always, thank you for making it! Praying that you and yours are all well!!

[@snowiiiiie]

I mean you can access like half the content in it without having Cats&Dogs, but that obviously just makes it a ridiculously tiny pack 😅

[@sacrificiallamb4568]

You can use them separately, and the pet outfits were only accessible with Cats and Dogs, and unfortunately that was the bit they marketed with. Also, by the logic they used for merging them over on home console, cross-pack stuff shouldn't even be allowed on console (because it's locked out of use unless you have another pack and has an impact on whether you buy the product), fun fact.

[@blurple7843]

omg like lol im pretty new to the sims and seeing like oh you can get the my first pet stuff for free was cool, and then learning you can't really use it without cats and dogs, AND THEN lol learning how greedy ea is and how sims 3 had better content, and how expensive everything is😭 and learning about how each pack plays from ytbers, tho ive just been chilling with building and using a few cc ive found

Movie Hangout Stuff will always have a big place in my heart for the solely for the lore in the objects that refer to the Sims 2 Open For Business Families and talk about a tv series that two of the sims started. Somebody was a w***e for lore when they made this pack.

[@Mskittenlover12]

I still fixate on that shit because how can 4 exist in an alternate universe when there's a confirmed in universe reality show that stars sims from The Sims 2 which revolves around stopping in Sims 3 worlds?? 😭 Another thing I fixate on is the damn postcards that reference Sims 3 worlds, especially the Sunset Valley one that makes references to SV being popular in the past?? Wtf was all that, EA??

[@whipkinator]

Years ago, when they announced they were going to make a new game pack, I was so excited, waited all day for the reveal. Then they it was JOURNEY TO BATUU and I was SO disappointed. AND THEN.

[@lucymouse1368]

@48:07 I 100% agree with you. There has to be a reason these things don't get fleshed out. There could have easily been an animation of a football game. There could have been pop ups where you "choose your own adventure" or similar to when you send a kid to school, a rabbit hole style pop up could say " your teammate at the top of the lift starts to slip" and then gives you the option to do one of two things to save the cheerleading move and your team does better or worse. It wouldn't have been that hard! And even if it was a rabbit hole like that, it would have been better than the tiny things it is!!

[@YanelArez]

I am a fellow werewolves enthusiast and I saw a post on reddit about how a lot of the werewolf temperaments are a lot like having autism and I can't stop thinking about it because it's such a mood. If I was a sims 4 werewolf my temperaments would be sensitive hearing, feels outcasted, survival instincts, and probably anti-capitalist canine. But instead of gaining fury I gain sensory overload/burnout :') Werewolves was buggy for me for a long time because I refused to update my game after the werewolf patch because the wants/fears system was broken for so long but now I have updated my game and downloaded some mods that also helped me fix the problems I was having and now werewolves are the dream

[@DoveJS]

I enjoyed your assessment of everything! I think you should do another set of videos this time where you're playing only *your* best rated packs and then only *your* worst rated packs just to see how that goes and if it changes your mind at all lol. I'm sure it won't but it'll be entertaining to watch! I LOVE the idea of having a multi-generational blended Werewolf and Vampire family, living in Windenburg in a Haunted House that you've built, creating your own club with some of the activities relevant to these packs (or else SOMETHING for the kids to do) , making money by selling food at the Von Haunt estate or on that Island you can get invited to or at the community pool! Maybe one Sim becomes a werewolf, realizes needing food constantly while slowly changing is ROUGH, and decides to sell it themselves, especially if they go hunting for raw meat as a werewolf. And they go out at night because living in a Haunted House is also rough. Maybe the vampire is the paranormal expert. I mean, very much Three Brothers vibes of James Turner (formerly TheSimSupply) fame but that feels fitting. lol you could even build a very wonky haunted house for it in a Tudor style and also create your own Community Center in Windenburg. We could get multiple videos out of the builds too! Or well you COULD play in San Sequoia but I just want justice for Windenburg because I don't think people remember/realize how massive it is. Get Together got dunked on for years and it's finally getting some recognition because it's not gonna shine on everyone's list but it's pretty solid if you don't hate anything about it.

There is an under wear category BUT it's hard to remember because you have to remove everything already on the Sim and click the undies in order for the other options to turn up so you can change their under wear! And inevitably I forget to do that before I start picking outfits. I'm also not a 100% certain if the change sticks with what you've chosen after you put their clothes back on in CAS since for example they also count as tops and bottoms overall. I usually forget so I still haven't checked with any Sim I customized the undies on, then keep switching their clothes with laundry on the lot so they get stuck in them until they wash and dry their laundry. Also, in the base game there's literally only 3 different styles for bottoms and bras with 3 swatches each. (At least for feminine choices. I can't recall what the masculine choices arebut it's probably the same amount of options.) It's also frankly annoying they're making us pay for the under wear... I haven't looked in a while but they better have given us one more option in a free DX drop when that kit came out because that's just... raw. If they didn't make it so hard to customize I'm sure they'd have tons of players DEMANDING more options. lol It's the same reason I constantly forget about tattoos and COULDN'T FIND THEM after accidentally stumbling onto them, changing stuff, then wanting to pick something else and BEING UNABLE TO GET BACK TO IT because I didn't know how I got there in the first place. You have to have enough skin visible to click on it because there's a body category and a head category and it makes sense that the tattoos are in the body category but it's not easy to find them IMHO. (Edit: I could just be dense but I can't be alone in that... right??)

JUSTICE FOR GRUNGE REVIVAL, LITERALLY ONE OF THE BEST KITS EVER .. ok

[@lutilda]

RE: Why things that seem needed are missing from a lot of packs (around 47:25)... I work in tech, but not games, and I've seen this sort of behavior a lot; specifically, where teams rush a release without all of the features users/players will want and with bugs. My theory is that it seems to be a function of HOW companies/ teams organize themselves to manage and track their workload. This is a bit technical, but basically "Waterfall" is a method where you iterate on each phase of development before the work goes to the next phase. It has mostly been replaced by "Agile" method, where you break work up into smaller bits and iterate as you go- it's focus is on constantly improving. Waterfall was needed when you shipped software/ a game via a physical CD and couldn't rely on updates to happen. Agile is the main method used today and is seen as the "best" (whether or not it's appropriate for a project). The problem is that since Agile is focused on constantly improving, teams have taken that and applied it wrong. Rather than using it to constantly improve an existing product, instead they use it as an excuse to do the bare minimum in as little time as possible, then give it to users/players and plan to fix the issues later. While it's not meant to work that way, it's how I've always seen things done in practice. And these teams are rarely able to dedicate the time and resources needed to actually fix those issues and almost never go back to add in the missing features. Because management wants them to move into the next thing to release. After working at 5+ tech companies (plus seeing the experiences of friends) this is an industry wide issue in all forms of tech (not just gaming). Not sure how it can be fixed, but hopefully Maxis gets it together and switches to having a more "waterfall" approach to any new pack in the future.

commenting before i start watching this because i'm so excited for one straight (lie) hour of jesse xx

[@makaylamari3641]

I have already watched the iceberg video like 6 times I cannot WAIT for the entire history videos I could cry

[@ameliasomerville6336]

I LOVE THAT YOURE DOING LONGER VIDEOS. this is such a good format for u queen and i am so excited for the ones coming up!!!

[@saraward8029]

My new year’s resolution is to not spend another dime on sims 4 cause whatever I get will be bugged or not worth it. It sucks I wasn’t around for earlier sims bc I would die for a generation or medieval pack but they would probably make little kits for it anyway

[@luciplayz1951]

Feeling my anxiety at its peak today, open youtube in the hopes of finding something to watch that makes me feel good, I see 1h long video of Jesse and I'm pure bliss Edit just to ask how on earth can you say your interests are dance moms, the witcher and not mention poor old MR DARCY? The audacity!

[@gladareangladast]

I've never understood the difference between expension pack and game pack. Feels like they should be merged into one pack 🤔 great video!

[@NeutralJAnon]

Okay but make this even more unedited and long and you have made studying for my exam period heaven

[@ceritraill7339]

I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets luxury party and vintage glamour mixed up 😂

[@Sugary-Stardust]

I only own one of them and I STILL get them mixed up!

[@ceritraill7339]

@@Sugary-StardustI think I own one too 😂😂

[@abigailsnail7]

You're amazing!!! Thanks for all the work & time you put into this :)

[@mynamesimm]

I've never been more excited for a new video omg, setting up a whole evening with snacks just for this

[@Oneasianpersuasion]

You are awesome with how much time and research you put into your videos. Just finished watching your Sims iceberg video and it was so entertaining to watch. All of the research you did and how you organized all of the Sims lore.

[@VaaleBeetancurG]

I would love a revisit to the sims 3 university is such an underrated sims 3 pack and I really love it

[@jayceepeyton]

Now we just need this for the sims 3 to see the real tough choices of who gets a solo

[@joslyndove]

i’m so sorry i’m late to this but i’ve been in a terrible headspace and refused to watch this huge stride for your channel like that. but i feel great now and this video is amazing, so happy to have seen you grow into this place in your life

[@wackaiya]

I’ve enjoyed your presentations and history of videos. So this video format, seeing you in front of board and stuffs, is just as good.

[@lolz4x4]

Great wallpaper, fab hair and a justified response for each pack placement on the board... All in all I'd say she's really not half bad... Thanks for the entertainment Icon! xoxo

[@theonlybingledingle]

Thank you for being a champion for the simmers. Can’t wait to watch!!!!

[@emmettmilnickel7649]

I've always thought to myself how I could listen to you ramble about the sims for hours and now I have at least a whole hour, Bless!! Could never get tired of your voice!

[@maddieb.4282]

I just know this is going to be a huge video for you. You’re the perfect person to do long form stuff like this and I’m glad you tackled it because people are LOVING these types of vids lately including me!!

[@diego2932]

she really said ✨autism✨ with thus video and i LOVE her for that YOU GO NEURODIVERGENT GIRL

[@TheYoubregje]

Holy dang this is going to be your year with those video ideas! I'm excited :D

[@Tasmanianval]

The fact that get together is still the only expansion pack that has own a trailer song makes the best one ever. 💅💅

[@saTAn-tk5ru]

the what we do in the shadows reference made my day ngl

[@yazplatt]

I love this kind of content Jesse, and I’m excited to see more of this style. But for most of the video I was wondering if my earphones were broken or if it was the video. My dad plays his music quite high so headphones are quite necessary for me and my neurodivergent brain, but I ended up muting the volume as it sounds like the mic is cutting out at parts. I’ll try again tomorrow when my house is quieter x

[@etta5487]

high school years above cats and dogs and city living is gonna give me an aneurysm respectfully

[@queencake8949]

Saw the runtime of this and came as soon as I could!!! Bout to cozy on up and watch in one sitting

[@megangentry5313]

Love the long form video!! Year is off to a good start with you!!

[@karartistry]

I literally bought some sims stuff yesterday and watched your reviews to see which ones were worth it... I'll see if future you (technically present) agrees with the choices 👀 thank you for the meal 🍴❤

[@JustaStrawberrii]

I love your videos you are one of my favorite youtubers

[@joiskyhigh]

You are so engaging and fun. Not only do I not play the Sims, I don't play any games, but was still raptured through the whole hour-long video and surprised when it ended 'so soon'

[@julis.6667]

I've been watching this video every night to fall asleep for a whole week. It's so calming for some reason, thank you

[@andibrimi]

[@lilianaunfolded5009]

This is getting me through my cold, love u and ur content as always plumb x

[@madijade1232]

heyyy hen hope you’re doing well i’m LOVING the long form content & can’t wait to see what you’re working on ! 💚

[@kclmao4499]

Thanks for putting Ur whole simussy into this for us

[@Pixelchus]

I'm so happy about such a long video! The only thing I noticed, especially with headphones, is that either the noise suppression or the pop filter makes you cut out a lot. Unfortunately my spicy brain can't deal with that. But I'll try to finish it on speakers!

[@Plumbella]

yeah my mixer reset when i moved my office around over christmas so my voice gate was too high i was devastated when i went through the footage lmfao BUT it’s fixed now so the next video should be fine!!

[@PinkxMurder]

The work and commitment this video must have took. You are our queen, thank you ❤

[@Cartoonandanimelove1]

The energy in this video is immaculate. Absolutely fantastic video. Such uplifting vibes. So many good laughs. Thank you plumbella
